Suggest Treatment For Bruised Shoulders And Ankle Pain After Injury
I fell down a flight of stairs and sprained an ankle, bruised my shoulder/back/legs/arms/elbows, aswell as scraped my face and knee. This happened Saturday night and yesterday I started feeling feverish and just overall not well. What could be the issue?
As per your clinical history is concerned, please follow like this: 1) Do a clinical examination by your Doctor and do a CT scan to rule out any serious injury. 2) Do check body temperature every 6 hours and if high then discuss antibiotics. 3) For pain, you can discuss drug like [Ibuprofen + Paracetamol].
To prevent it in future do regular stretching and strengthening exercises.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Uday Nath Sahoo
